I fear there are whole generations who do not realize how this day in history changed the world as we know it.

I always thought Saving Private Ryan should be mandatory watching in about 7th grade.   So far one of the best depictions I have seen of the day.

I'm going to take this a different direction.

I agree every 7th grader should watch this. I also think all Europeans should as well. I'm not so certain that I would endorse saving them again. History, especially in Europe, repeats itself.

I'm seeing a bunch of self inflicting wounds happening all across that continent. I resent the holier than tho/we are so enlightened sentiment. If they get steam rolled By the Russians or the Muslim hordes, I wont support saving them.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

I work with a gal. She just told me that today her Dad was on the beach.   First wave.   She said he never talked about it.  Just that out of the 1000 guys in his group, only 2, one of them being him, made it off the beach.

 I've chatted with a couple that were there, they said the beginning of that movie was the closest they have seen re enacted.

I love that this song is topping the charts and has been for a while, out selling and out pacing all the trash being made by gangsta rappers and twerking girls selling their booty
